She called me up this afternoon, we had dinner and just hung out.
Set up some plans for Friday.

Good on you. Enjoy things more now.

I remember you telling me that. You and the rest of the Barners were a real source of comfort during that time. At the time I couldn't imagine ever moving on. It's like time just stopped for the past five years. You telling me about your experience Johnny, had an impact with my decision to move on. I never forgot about it.

Now, to put this in perspective, do not doubt that you would be overchicked. If any lady takes an interest in you, you are overchicked!
J/K man. Very happy for you. Take it EASY

Actually, Lori wasn't my wife. That was the plan; we were just waiting for her daughter to get out of school. I was more than willing to go ahead and tie the knot when we found out she had cancer, but when we found out she was terminal, she wouldn't allow it. She didn't want me hurting any more than she knew I would be when she was gone.

I told her you posted that! She got a good laugh. She says all parts are OEM.

Now.....if she has a sister....send her on over!  |
She has a brother, will that do?

I was offline so long because my mom was sent to Hospice, we were pretty much waiting for her to die, and by chance we found out that she wasn't being given her Lasix, which keeps her lungs from filling up with fluid. She recovered and got sent back home, but it was a rough time. The COPD will eventually get her but she has some time yet.
